Overview:
Non-profit development interns work closely with South Bronx United's Executive Director in building organizational capacity in support of SBU's youth development programs, which use soccer as a tool to help youth advance academically, graduate high school, and go on to college. Intern's work is focused in 3 key areas: 1) grant research & writing, 2) press relations and social media, and 3) fundraising through special events and sponsorships. Within these areas, the position can be molded to fit the individual's strengths and interests.
